There were techy, harness-clad backpacks at Tod’s and Versace, chunky cowboy boots at DSquared2, cowboy jackets at Diesel Black Gold and oversized worker jackets with patch pockets at Zegna. At Prada, Miuccia sent our models layered with nylon utility belts and multiple cross body bags.

Head to Fear of God, Gucci or Brunello Cucinelli for inspiration.
